Kuchis of Oruzgan

Kuchis are Afghan Pashtun nomads, and their livelihoods have been severely impacted by war. Due to widespread insecurity, limited access to grazing land, and years of drought and poverty it has further deteriorated their way of life. With no access to education they will likely remain illiterate with fewer prospects for a better future. Photography by Kate Geraghty.
